If what is alleged is true — Raymond Felton waived a gun loaded with armor-piercing bullets around during a Valentine’s Day argument with his estranged wife — then he is in a lot of trouble. As he should be. Common sense tells you that is a bad idea.

Everyones knows better which is why we have motor cycle gangs chasing a couple through the streets off Manhattan trying to kill them. Give people the ability to protect themselves and that whole situation would have ended in 10 seconds……

As somebody from chicago whos seen my share of situations where having one would have helped immensely, 100% agree. And im very happy my CCW permit will be arriving soon.

I predict in the next 6 months, when the criminals start realizing the targets arent so easy anymore, crime decreases. And i also predict the people with licensed guns that get in trouble for using them wrongly will be a number you can count on 1 hand, if even that many

NYC is actually pretty safe, especially for a major, international city. What their law enforcement is doing seems to be working.
You just shouldn’t pack heat around NYC, and if you can’t abide by those terms, you should go somewhere else.

I’ve had plenty of personal experience that makes me feel it is a safe city, yes, but it’s not just an opinion. Look up the stats on violent crime and you will see that NYC is one of the safest major cities in the Western world, that’s a fact.
That’s not to say that there aren’t rough neighborhoods, but let me ask you this: Why would a multi-millionaire NBA player need to hang out in those neighborhoods? Answer: He doesn’t.
So, again, people should follow the rules and they wouldn’t have these problems, especially people with the means to go virtually anywhere they want and be safe and secure. No sympathy from me for a guy who (allegedly) threatened an unarmed woman with a handgun.
